My wife weighs around what you do, so I can imagine that it would be fairly even between you and some women. Though you have to remember that women have less muscle on their frames for the same weight, generally, and are usually built finer than men. And the amount of testosterone men have compared to women is a bit like comparing a normal man to someone on steroids. So I think it's a good idea to go easy. I see women's MMA and I can't watch; even if they are women with mannish brains (i.e. Lesbians), it just gives me a feeling of revulsion to watch it.as a smaller guy (5'4", 157), i know the beefcake 205+ers don't take it easy on me. nasty cross faces, brutal KOB, the works.
I'm about 205 walking around. I find a lot of the smaller guys go 100% on me to the point where they use strength over technique. I usually try and remain technical unless they are being douchy. I must admit that in my early days I could be a bit of a WB spaz at times, but what goes around comes around. The little guys have my admiration in general, going to training must be like a 205lbs guy training in a class with 4-5 Brock Lesnars, and 5-6 Randy Coutures, but without the skill obviously.
I think I'd still train if I was smaller, as I seek out the bigger and more technical guys in order to learn as it is.
I don't see how the ability to give birth makes a woman any more capable of taking punishment. They've got a larger percentage of their bodies devoted to reproductive tasks, and other stuff as I said above. They are built to give birth, not to kill and be killed on the battlefield. Some women are beefier and stronger and can take it better, but a little chivalry goes a long way.i'm not signing up to be someone's animated grappling dummy even if i am a lot stronger. we all take turns smooshing smaller folks and getting smooshed by bigger folks. it's part of the game. i think the whole "women are more delicate than men" thing is bs. women give birth fer chrissake, don't tell me they can't take some good shoulder pressure.
